Consistent greyhound Santa Claws is a chance to bring up his fourth win from his past six starts in the Invitation at Devonport on Tuesday. On his last visit to the track a fortnight ago, the Philip Cassidy-owned and trained dog put up a brave performance to beat Hogwash and Brave Sully. He led from box 2 on that occasion but was clearly headed rounding the home turn before kicking back to score narrowly. His only run since was in Launceston last Thursday night when fourth to quality sprinter Gotta Be You. He was beaten just under four lengths and was doing his best work late. This week he has drawn awkwardly in box 6 but with a clear run could bring up his seventh win from 14 starts over the 452m course. Last week’s meeting saw the Patrick Ryan-trained Plyometric score an emphatic 7-¼ lengths win in 25.76 at only his third start. He was unwanted in the betting, blowing from $7.50 to $14. In contrast, Birds Fly High from the Russell Watts kennel was heavily backed from $4.80 to $2.60 before scoring a last-stride victory. Punters were also on target when the Butch Deverell-trained Minor Magic landed an $8 to $3.30 plunge after running down Surrender to score by just under a length. Minor Magic has drawn the red box in this week’s Grade 4 and, although facing a more difficult task, can’t be discounted.
